Solidarity Sunday for Trayvon Martin

Rabbi Lerner and other members of the Network of Spiritual Progressives attended services at Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, California on Sunday, July 21, a week after the Trayvon Martin verdict. Their intent was to show solidarity with the African American community and share in the deep grief over the unjust verdict.
In this three-part video, Rabbi Lerner decries the verdict as part of a blessing he gives to the church’s youth, while Senior Pastor J. Alfred Smith, Jr. speaks out about up-and-coming filmmaker Ryan Coogler (of Fruitvale Station fame). Pastor Emeritus J. Alfred Smith Sr., his father, outlines a seven-step program to combat racism, and the choir performs a beautiful, gut-wrenching rendition of “We Shall Overcome.”

Moses and Jesús: The Prophetic Fight for Immigrant Rights

Two prophets come up with a plan to stop the deportation — and stand up for the human rights of all undocumented Americans. Released on the three-year anniversary of Arizona’s anti-immigrant SB 1070 going into effect, this video is a comedic call to action for humane immigration reform — and full rights for the 11 million undocumented newcomers to the promised land. Written by Tikkun contributor Josh Healey (NPR Snap Judgment), Moses and Jesús stars comedy legends Richard Montoya (Culture Clash) and Corey Fischer (The Jewish Theater), and is produced by Favianna Rodriguez (Culture Strike).
